Google Is Five Today

Google, the net’s most pop­u­lar search index is five years old today. Google is named for goo­gol, 1 fol­lowed by 100 zeros — a pretty big num­ber. While Google doesn’t quite have a goo­gol pages under index, it does have a bunch, 3,307,998,701, as of this after­noon. The site handles over 200 mil­lion search quer­ies each day.”

  1. I saw your “diary” over at the 50 chal­lenges place and came to check out your diary. I just wanted to con­grat­u­late you on being smoke­free for 135 days! I know that’s not an easy task by any stretch of the ima­gin­a­tion, so WELL DONE! I quit nearly 2 years ago and it’s the best thing I ever did. Keep it up!

  2. Hi Rab­bit,
    Thanks for your com­ments.
    I’ve not done any­thing with my ’50 things’ for ages, I must com­plete my list and get crack­ing on it.
    The not smoking has gone really well, and I don’t get crav­ings any more. I’m not sure I feel any fit­ter but I was pretty fit before.
